Instructors from institutions withhigh percentages of minority and socio-economically disadvantaged students were encouraged toapply. A flyer was designed and direct emailed to over 800 STEM teachers and administrators atschool districts and two-year colleges in Texas. In addition, information about the program wasdistributed via ASEE’s Engineering Technology Division’s listserv (ETD-L) and at the annualHigh Impact Technology Exchange

Graduate students selected one article for theirpresentation beyond articles related to their research work. The students also explained theirthought process when making the presentations.

Whenwork exclusively considers engineering broadly, programmatic and curricular practices may bedeveloped that also support this narrow interpretation of interest and identity. Almost allparticipants mention an interest outside of engineering, fewer described this interest with adegree of commitment, and even fewer actually integrated this interest by pursuing it throughclasses, a minor, or a double major. A key reason for not doing so was the limitations of time intheir program and the fear it would impact their graduation time or cost them too much money.However, many participants had a math minor despite the lack of connection between it and theirinterests or goals.

engineers grow as lifelonglearners, creators and leaders of new technology development to meet societal needs. Whereas manydistance graduate education programs have extended research-based graduate curricula to off-campusengineers in industry, graduate curricula often have not been designed specifically to match the growthneeds of engineers relevant to the practice of engineering and the leadership of technology developmentfor continuous innovation. A systemic deficiency in graduate engineering education exists across thenation. Because of this deficiency, the nation’s graduate engineers have been inadequately educated toassume engineering leadership roles and U.S. innovative capacity for competitiveness has declined.

Second, industry’sprevailing perception that engineering education does not prepare graduates adequately for thepractice. Therefore, from industry’s perspective, the quality of education for engineering practiceis seen as deficient. Third, blending practical experience in teaching design and design-relatedcourses is repeatedly emphasized by ABET, and by other engineering organizations, such asASEE.(2,3) Thus, directions for proper merging of professional experience with engineeringscience in design courses are a concern that comes up often in educational forums.
